Abstract
A method for execution within a dispersed storage network (DSN), where the method begins by calculating, utilizing a first integrity check value function, an integrity check value of a first type for each encoded data slice of a set of encoded data slices to produce a corresponding set of integrity check values. The method continues by issuing, via a network, one or more sets of write slice requests 1-n to a set of storage units 1-n within the DSN, where the one or more sets of write slice requests include a plurality of sets of the encoded data slices and a corresponding plurality of sets of the integrity check values. The method continues, when verifying integrity of a received encoded data slice, by a storage unit calculating, utilizing a second integrity check value function, an integrity check value of a second type for the encoded data slice.
